It's cute how they're throwing Cersei these early, convenient wins to make it seem like she ain't completely screwed.

It's cute how they're throwing Cersei these early, convenient wins to make it seem like she ain't completely screwed.

Before the final siege on King's Landing commences and she goes absolutely insane due to her sheer incompetence due to lack of foresight that got every single one of her children killed and Jaime decides that it's over and as she moves to embrace the only person she thought she could trust he drives a sword through her? Why else would they keep bringing up the fact that he's the Kingslayer? He's gonna kill her ass.

Poor Cersei but she knows she going to die horribly since she was a kid

 

[Infernostew]

Can't wait to not see Sansa undermine every one of Jon's ideas.

 

[Zolo]

Poor Cersei but she knows she going to die horribly since she was a kid

Feel like that's probably part of the reason why she's acting more solemn than throwing tantrums recently.

 

[Sephzilla]

I know Jon needs smooth talking Davos in regards to meeting Danny, but man, after seeing how Sansa is basically undercutting Jon at every possible moment I would have really left Davos in Winterfell to keep shit in check. Davos is basically the God of Common Sense

 

[aBarreras]

im really expecting dany to be like "my dragons will kill you if you dont bent the knee" or some shit, and the dragons be like "naw maan, jon is fine, we like it more than you" revealing his Targaryen blood

 

[Sephzilla]

Huh, I could actually see something like that happening. Jon refuses to bend his knee. Danny orders one of the dragons to scorch him. Jon's still standing afterwards.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Looking forward to Sansa fucking everything up in Winterfell tbh

 

[oti]

Great episode except the last scene.
Bloody useless sandsnakes.

 

[Conkerkid11]

But his clothes aren't fire proof.

 

[Principate]

We go from Jim Broadbent talking about how curing advanced greyscale is different from that in infants in one scene to Sam talking about how he found the cure for advanced greyscale in a book in the next. Zero time is spent showing how he found out about it.

It is unbelievably convenient.

Sam found about a cure last episode it's litterally written in one of the books you see him read. The dude and sam knows there's a cure for advanced Grayscale, Said cure is also banned because it involves going knee deep in infested tissue in an era with no antiobiotics.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

So ummmm have we talked about this

It would be funny if the wall is and always was useless.

Pic is broken. I'm curious what it is.

 

[NYR]

The Dorne characters minus Oberyn turned out to be a massive disappointment for the show, real missed opportunity, they ended up being clowns. I honestly believe this will be one of the biggest failures of the show when it started out so well with Oberyn.

 

[OrionX]

Before the final siege on King's Landing commences and she goes absolutely insane due to her sheer incompetence due to lack of foresight that got every single one of her children killed and Jaime decides that it's over and as she moves to embrace the only person she thought she could trust he drives a sword through her? Why else would they keep bringing up the fact that he's the Kingslayer? He's gonna kill her ass.

See I keep thinking that too, it all seems perfectly set up, but I keep going back to that scene Jaime had with Edmure where he was like "Yo the only person in this world I give a fuck about is Cersei. I'd do anything for her, including launching your baby at a castle." But maybe that's the point, to see just how far his devotion extends and how low he's willing to sink alongside her before enough is enough.

 

[Sephzilla]

Looking forward to Sansa fucking everything up in Winterfell tbh

*Jon and Davos return to Winterfell. Winterfell is literally half on fire because someone is attacking*

Jon: What the blood hell happened?

Sansa: I pissed off everyone you told me not to piss off

Jon: Winterfell is fucking burning down!

Sansa: BUT AT LEAST WE REWARDED LOYALTY

 

[Conkerkid11]

What am I looking at? Did the shoreline freeze over?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

You're looking at clouds.

 

[RDreamer]

Iron Islanders, too, minus maybe Theon for a few seasons.

 

[Sephzilla]

I think that whole Wall thing is just a hiccup in how the intro is filmed. The "frozen" look is likely just the crowd cover because in the shot right before that you can clearly see it isn't frozen over.

On that note though, like, what is actually stopping the White Walkers from just going into the water and walking around The Wall? They're zombies, they don't really need to breathe. And what's stopping the Nights King from using some of his crazy magic shit and just freezing the water as they walk over it or something?

Somehow King's landing is going to go up in flames (Dragons or Wildfire). Dany will "win" but it will be a skeleton of its former glory. She'll get that vision of the throne with the roof bombed out and it will start to snow just like in the vision. Everyone will start to realize it's all about the white walkers.

Climate Change

Trump's policies are even affecting Westeros.

It's not just a physical barrier. We saw Bran go south of the wall so it's only a matter of time before they come, too. The 3-eyed-raven being north of the wall kept them at bay IIRC.

 

[Psychoward]

Can't wait to not see Sansa undermine every one of Jon's ideas.

"Don't argue with me in front of all the Lords of the north"
"Fine"

Next episode

"WHY ARE YOU GOING TO ALLY YOURSELF WITH THE PERSON WHO HAS DRAGONS AND DRAGONGLASS, IT COULD BE A TRAP EVEN TYRION HAS BEEN GOOD TO YOU THUS FAR"

 

[Speevy]

The Night King never thought of breeding wight penguins.

 

[RDreamer]

Maybe it was anti-climactic, but I feel like reviving a dragon from nothing but bones may have been a bit... far reaching for how reserved the magic in this show seems to be. I'm thinking (hoping) they're going to down a dragon, then zombify the fresh corpse of one.

They shouldn't have made it seem like it'd be a big reveal. When people were questioning how they'd deal with dragons and Dany's army they could have just said something like "Yeah Aegon conquered with three dragons but that was hundreds of years ago. She has dothraki and dragons but we have wildfire and ever advancing technology on the field of battle. They had ballista back then but now we've improved accuracy and we can fire more rounds per minute. Just one shot and that dragon goes down." Then maybe show a repeating ballista in the similar scene with Cersei.

 

[televator]

I always figured the night king having the power of ice could just freeze the water around the walland just march his army around. The hard part is for him to be protected long enough by his army to pull off the freezing trick. Which is probably why he hadn't done it sooner.

 

[zeemumu]

But maybe that's the point, to see just how far his devotion extends and how low he's willing to sink alongside her before enough is enough.

Or that he loves her enough to mercy kill her to save her from herself.

 

[Speevy]

Hey Yohn Royce, I'm giving you command of the old Valyria. The whitewalkers are coming there too.

 

[The Artisan]

So ummmm have we talked about this

It would be funny if the wall is and always was useless.

my prediction was for the wall to come down in the season finale. if they can just walk around it then there's no need

If he could do that then he would have gone after Jon and the free folk at Hardhome. Clearly they can't go over water. Why? I dunno.

Also isn't the wall not just an actual wall? It has some sort of magic to it, too.

 

[TimeEffect]

Wait, come the long winter, why wouldn't the lake freeze over?

 

[WriterGK]

So many people don't like it. If you really hate it, why keep watching? And enough with the time jumps. We have been over this, they gave that up seasons ago. Those tweets have been showed here five times already. I really like it so far.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

You know what, Jorah Fedorah is going to lead the greyscale army into battle vs the White Walkers. Jorah will be the Blade of the GoT, the hybrid prince.

 

[Soulblighterr]

Is Euron a bollywood hero now? Da fuck was that plot armor

 

[Psychoward]

So many people don't like it. If you really hate it, why keep watching? And enough with the time jumps. We have been over this, they gave that up seasons ago. Those tweets have been showed here five times already. I really like it so far.

I don't mind the time jumps anymore now that they show them a bit more clearly, I still like the show but it annoys me that it has a bunch of silly problems when the budget is this big and the staff so involved.

 

[LukasTaves]

No, that was a Sand Snake.

That was the two sand snakes.

Oh right, I recall the clothes being yellow.

BTW, shouldn't Euron be dead out of their poison?

 

[Sephzilla]

Yeah, Euron should be poisoned now unless they conveniently forgot to poison their blades this time

 

[RDreamer]

So many people don't like it. If you really hate it, why keep watching?

Why do people keep asking this dumb question? For one, people could really love the first few seasons and want to see what happens in this world even if it's subpar right now. For two, the series has become a massive social phenomenon. A lot of people watch it because a lot of people watch it and they want to join in. It's really not that difficult to imagine why people would tune in even if the show became pretty spotty.

 

[taizuke]

Can't help but see docked/undocked.

I..... can see this happening.

 

[Curufinwe]

That scene with Arya and the wolves, what was it meant to show?

Seems like a lot of people are getting confused by the "that's not you" line.

It's discussed on Inside Sn7/Ep2.

There is no such thing as dumb questions only not every question is actually good. So people keep watching stuff because other do it, even if they hate it. You should watch it for yourself not to join in. Life is too fucking short to watch things that you hate. You can always join in after binge watching a season. Sure if you love it, I join in. But no way I will continue watching something I dredd and hate "just to join in"

 

[Heshinsi]

i dunno if anyone else caught this, but how Carcetti was sighing when he found out Tyrion is Dany's Hand?

Yeah cause he realises Dany is protected by the OG anti-Littlefinger brigade. Vary's and Tyrion on her team, yeah his only hopes are turning Sansa or hitching up on that crazy Cersei train.

 

[WaterAstro]

Is that a youtube video?

 

[WriterGK]

I can understand that. There are some silly problems. But I think this season so far after only 2/7 episode's is also making a lot of quick progress

 

[Psychoward]

I can understand that. There are some silly problems. But I think this season so far after only 2/7 episode's is also making a lot of quick progress

It is, but I also liked the fillery episodes of previous seasons so I'm kinda dismayed. For the siege plans to be introduced and then ruined all in one episode is kinda annoying.

 

[Curufinwe]

Is that a youtube video?

I couldn't find it on youtube yet. I just watched it on HBO Go.

Benioff/Weise says it's a direct reference to a S1 scene where Arya says "that's not me" to Ned when he tells her she could be the lady of a castle.

 

[televator]

If he could do that then he would have gone after Jon and the free folk at Hardhome. Clearly they can't go over water. Why? I dunno.

Also isn't the wall not just an actual wall? It has some sort of magic to it, too.

Like I said, it probably takes time. I'm thinking the wall not only holds back the walkers, but also the long night. I think the night king needs the long winter night to extend into the rest of Westeros.

 

[RDreamer]

But no way I will continue watching something I dredd and hate "just to join in"

I think you're also putting a lot of feelings into someone you don't know. Complainers probably don't utterly hate literally everything about the show.

Personally I hate most of the Iron Island stuff and all of what Dorne seems to touch. That plus a few other randomly trash scenes. But there's still enough there that it's worth it to see what happened to the show I used to think was the pinnacle of on screen fantasy.

Are people not allowed to complain/critique things? People can complain/critique things they genuinely like, too. You don't have to hate something overall to think something like Euron's character arc or something was trash.

And life is filled with dumb things people do just to join in. Humans are social creatures. We get enjoyment and fulfillment from connecting with other humans. It's why some people purposefully watch bad B movies with friends or something.
